Philadelphia Sports Writers Association

The Philadelphia Sports Writers Association (PSWA)[1] was founded on May 12, 1904, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[2] The first of what would become an annual Awards Dinner was held on February 15, 1905.[2]

Awards

Each year, awards are presented—for the preceding calendar year—in the following categories: Outstanding Pro Athlete and/or Outstanding Philadelphia Pro Athlete of the Year (formerly Pro Athlete), Outstanding Amateur Athlete, Team of the Year, Outstanding Penn Relays collegiate performer (Frank Dolson/Penn Relays Award), Living Legend, Native Son, Humanitarian, Good Guy Award, and Most Courageous Athlete. The name of the Most Courageous Athlete recipient is kept secret until the night of the dinner.[3]

In 2012, the Humanitarian award was presented to Ed Snider and renamed in his honor as the Ed Snider Lifetime Distinguished Humanitarian Award.

In 2015, two new awards were begun: the Bill Campbell Broadcast Award and the Stan Hochman Award (for that year's best sports story in the region).[3]

In some years, awards are given in other categories: Executive of the Year, Nostalgia Team, Lifetime Achievement, Special Achievement, and Special Recognition.[4]
